Guest:...I laughed my ass when I read your comment. That was so good I couldn't stop imagining Jaune simping for Weiss hard. But then my mind went to some missed up cuckold things that freaked me out. And I tried to write this story so I could forget that. But your comment made me laugh and then creeped out. Like that scene from the movie Ace Ventura: When Nature Calls. Where the bad guy ends up with the gorilla. I laughed but then I released he got rapped
Later that night
Max and Jaune walked into Max's apartment, Jaune noticed how rundown it looked. He couldn't stop feeling sorry for him, which Max noticed. "Come on Jaune, don't do that" he said while stepping to the fridge and grabbing two beers. "Sorry Max, if I known I-" Max cut him off before he could pity him any further. He gave him the beer and took a seat on the couch which Jaune joined him. They remained quiet till Max broke that silence "So what's wrong?" Jaune stayed quiet but he knew. If he couldn't trust Max then who could he trust.
"I've been feeling...kinda lonely that's all" Max heard the pain in Jaune's words. "I know what you mean" Max said, they started to drink till Max started to chuckle "What's funny?" Jaune asked him with a confused expression. "Just remembering the first time we met" Jaune smiled remembering that too "I'll never forget that shy kid who was hiding behind his sister". Jaune remembered seeing this tall business man who was asking if he could talk to him. "Will in my defense, a creep was spying on me on my own balcony" Jaune said jokingly. "Come now, I heard such a beautiful voice coming from there. I had to check it out before someone else took advantage of such talent".
They laughed together till they cooled down and wiped away the tears. "I don't regret going to that party after that" Max said. Jaune's parents made a party to celebrate his sister's successful book. Ninjas of Love, which Jaune wasn't old enough to read. His uncles and aunts plus some of his cousins who didn't like him were there so. He would go somewhere alone and do the only thing that would calm him down. He would sing the pain away but that very night is when Max found him singing.
After the whole thing, Max offered him a job as a musician with his agency. At first he didn't know what to do, he was barely fifteen. But his sisters told him he should try and his parents pushed him towards that too. He knew why they were on board, they thought I would give up on my dream to become a huntsman if I became a musician. But Jaune wanted to be remembered as his ancestors, warriors,Knights and so on. Not a singer, so he came up with the idea of a persona. His sisters helped him with it, and that's how Violet was born.
After two albums Jaune gave up on the music business and saved up a lot of his money to buy his fake transcript. And he still had a good amount of money saved up just in cause. Everything was going good for him, till his friends started to neglect him for others. First it was Ruby, she would hang out with Penny and once the whole students from the other Academy's showed up. May Zedong joined them, and Nora met Neon which pulled Flynt and Ren too. After that he would hang out with Pyrrha but she met Mercury in combat class. She started to spar with him till they hooked up.
Velvet saw how lonely he was so she started to hang out with him and Coco joined too. But he still doesn't know what happened to their friendship. But he noticed Cardin started to hang out with Velvet till he caught them kissing in the hallway. After that he didn't talk to them, and Weiss,Blake and Yang never actually talk to him so yea.
"Jaune!" Max shouted to get his attention which made Jaune jump. "What?" Jaune said in a panic "You were crying" Max looked concerned for his friend. Jaune wiped his tears away and acted like nothing happened. "So what's the play?" Jaune asked to change the conversation. At first Max wanted to ask him what was really going on but he chose not to.
"We'll be going to a friend who owes me a favor" Max then stood up and went to grab something. Jaune finished his beer and got up to throw it in the trash can. "And whose this friend?", "No one big just Lisa Lavender" Max said with a smile. Jaune was shocked "You mean Lisa Lavender, as the reporter of Vale news!" Max then walked back with a digital piano. "Okay calm down and let's get ready for tomorrow", "What do you mean tomorrow?" Max took a seat again on the couch and Jaune joined him.
"Lisa agreed to report your return to the stage" he said while getting the piano ready. "And also, you might want to tell your team that you might not go to class tomorrow" Jaune remained quiet and thought about it but he saw how Max was relying on him. Jaune just sighs and pulls out his scroll and sees that it's nine pm. So he calls Ren which was picked up before the second ring. "Jaune?" Ren sounded calm but once you've lived with him. You could understand his worried/anger voice from his actual relax and calm voice. "Yes" Jaune said a little scared, "Do you know what time it is?" Jaune felt this feeling of just hanging up but he kept his cool. "Yes, that's why I called you. I'm not going to make it and I'm not going to be able to go to classes tomorrow". "Is everything alright?" He sounded worried, "Yea it's just I promised a friend I would help him tomorrow with something is all, and you know-". "An Arc never goes back, on their promise. *sigh* Fine but will I see you on Saturday, we need to talk about your behavior" Jaune remained silent till he felt Max's hand on his shoulder.
"Okay, but can you take my assignment to Professor Oobleck's class please", "Alright Jaune, take care" he hanged up. Max then pulled his hand away and moved the piano onto Jaune's lap. "You still remember how to play the piano right?" Max said with a smirk. "Maybe" Jaune then started to play the piano like a pro. Once done Jaune blows on his fingers with a smirk that can rival Max's. "Show off" Max took a drink from his beer "So let's practice", "Which song then?" Jaune asked him till Max pulled out a book under the coffee table and opened it to show many songs.
"What about this one" Jaune pointed to one of them that brought a happy smile. Max recognize it and also smiled "Okay but you do know that your the musician and I'm the agent right?", "Shut up old man and get ready" Jaune said while laughing at Max's fake hurt expression "I'm not that old". Before Max could go all dramatic, Jaune started to play the piano which got Max to get ready. "We may not yet have reached our glory. But I will gladly join the fight. And when our children tell their story" Max noticed Jaune's eyes change to a goofy teenager, to a professional expression. He would always get like this when he would switch to Violet.
"They'll tell the story of tonight, They'll tell the story of tonight, tonight" Max then started to sing with his partner,friend and most of all. His little brother "Have you ever felt like nobody was there?. Have you ever felt forgotten in the middle of nowhere?, Have you ever felt like you could disappear?, Like you could fall, and no one would hear?" Max sang in a sad tone which got Jaune to match his tone. "Well, let that lonely feeling wash away (All we see is light) 'Cause maybe there's a reason to believe you'll be okay (For forever) 'Cause when you don't feel strong enough to stand. You can reach, reach out your hand, And oh" Max then raised his beer into the air with a small smile. Which made Jaune chuckle "Raise a glass to freedom. Something they can never take away(Oh). No matter what they tell you. (Someone will coming running To take you home)"Max started to shaked his beer that remained in the air.
"Raise a glass to all of us" both of them sang this part together "Tomorrow there'll be more of us, Telling the story of tonight. (Out of the shadows) The morning is breaking (they'll tell the story of tonight)And all is new, All is new ,All is new. It's only a matter of Time" Max moved in front of Jaune and sat on the coffee table. They both started to sing together in this part. "Even when the dark comes crashing through. When you need a friend to carry you, When you're broken on the ground. You will be found, so let the sun come streaming in,'Cause you'll reach up and you'll rise again, If you only look around. You will be found" They stop singing together "And when our children tell their story (You will be found) They'll tell the story of tonight (Whoa oh,oh,oh) No matter what they tell you (Tomorrow there'll be more of us)
They sang the last words together "Telling the story of tonight, The story of tonight". They were out of breathe but they couldn't stop smiling. Till "SHUT THE FUCK UP!" Max's neighbor yelled "I'M TRYING TO GET LAID HERE!". "SORRY MISS.SMITH!" Max shouted back with a stupid smile that Jaune matched. "Miss.Smith?" Jaune asked, "Yea she's in her 70s...now I feel like shit. We almost cock blocked her" after a good laugh and more yelling from Miss.Smith, they went to sleep to have energy for tomorrow.
The Next day
Violet and Max were walking around the stores looking for some good suits. Violet will pay for both of them cause Max was basically broke. As they were trying on some suits in the changing room. Violet at the time was in the hallway checking out his shirt in the three mirrors. Did a girl with long grey hair with blue eyes came in, wearing a white dress. She had her hands behind her back, she looked nervous. Violet only had a white button up shirt with black jeans. He was waiting for Max to come out in his suit but he couldn't stop staring at the strange girl who got closer to him. Once she was two steps away, she started to mumble something. "Sorry, I couldn't hear you" Violet said with a friendly smile.
She started to blush but then the owner of the store walked in seeing Violet with a smile. Till he turned to see the stranger and his expression morphed to an anger one. "What are you doing here?!" The owner demanded the girl. She turned around revealing a wolf's tail "She's a Faunus!...she actually looks kinda cute with that tail" Violet thought. "Get out, get out of my store!" The owner shouted at the girl. "B-But I didn't do anything" she said afraid while looking at Violet. Violet stepped between them "Sir, she's not bothering anyone" he told him.
"That's not the point, she's a-", "A Faunus!" Violet shouted making the owner and the girl jump by the one eighty. Violet then walked into his changing room and he came out as fast as he could with his clothes. That was a black shirt and his normal jeans. "Max!" Violet yelled for his agent, Max came out still wearing his clothes "Yea, I heard everything" he said while fixing his tie. Violet walked passed by the owner "People like you" the owner was taken back by Violet's eyes. Rage was the only thing he could see in those blue eyes "Disgust me" he said the last part with so much venom.
They left the store, as they were walking to the next store. Did the girl run behind them "Violet wait!" Violet stopped and Max knew where this was going. Violet turned confused "Sorry but how do you know my name?" He asked. "I'm your biggest fan and I heard you were back and" she started to blush hard but Violet noticed how fast her tail was wagging. He snapped out of it "Wait, what do you mean you heard I was back?" She then pulled out her scroll and started to play a video that was on Dustube. It was the bar were he and Max sang and danced last night. Violet blushed "I didn't even think people would notice that" he said while rubbing the back of his neck.
"You know you've been only gone for almost two years right. You basically stopped singing when you turned sixteen" Max told Violet. Violet felt stupid for thinking it was longer. He turned to the girl and gave her the old Arc smile which made her blush while smoke could be seen coming from her ears. Max leaned towards Violet "I think you broke her" Violet then got close to her and grabbed her hand slowly. "Are you okay...sorry I didn't get your name" She tense when she felt his hand touch her's. "I'm never washing this hand EVER AGAIN!" She thought. "Sorry I'm Emma" she said nervously while freaking out inside.
"Nice to meet you Emma"He said but then Max's stomach grumbled which remained Violet they didn't have breakfast. They remained silent till Violet asked Emma if she would like to join them finding something to eat.
Beacon
Ren had a rough morning with Nora, who kept yelling that Jaune was kidnapped by some aliens. Or his least favorite, he was losing his body by a pale white demon that came from another dimension. After that he noticed that Pyrrha was out probably doing her morning work out. He then checked his scroll for any messages from Jaune but non were there. So time went by smoothly, Ren and Nora were sitting at their table with their sister team.
Ruby was eating her breakfast fast which made Weiss agitated with her team leader eating like a maniac. Yang kept going through her scroll and her partner was reading from a book. Pyrrha finally showed up with Mercury who whispered something to Pyrrha and she giggled and kissed him on the cheek. He then left her to her team, she took a seat next to Nora. "Had a good morning?" Nora asked with a will knowing grin. "Nora!" Pyrrha playfully acted insulted but she tried to say something else till Yang shouted startling everyone at the table. "What's wrong?" Blake asked looking at her partner who was smiling so hard. "He's back!" This time some of the students from other tables turned to see what was the big deal.
"Who?" Ruby asked once she stopped choking on her breakfast. Yang turned her scroll and played a video that got Ruby shaking till she yelled "YYYEEEESSSS!!" Blake and many others had to cover their ears. Weiss then pulled out her scroll and saw someone she thought was never going to reappear again. She couldn't stop looking at his red hair with those beautiful blue eyes that were protected by his glasses. Blake saw the image and couldn't stop thinking about a certain ex. But she remembered the times she would listen to Violet with Adam. Before any missions...and how she would role play with Adam. How he would dress like Violet and lip sing his songs to her.
Ren and Nora looked at each other remembering how they would hear his music while working with orphanage. There was always a kid or girl playing a song of his and they would join them to hear him. Pyrrha looked kinda sad remembering something which Ren noticed but remained quiet. "Damn, mommy likes~" Yang said while seeing Violet dancing with Max. "Where was this taken?" Ruby asked Yang who was drooling. "Yang!" Ruby shouted which did the trick, she wiped away the drool "Sorry". She finally looked it up and saw it was taken in Vale last night.
With Jaune, Max and Emma
They found a restaurant near they're location, at first they didn't have any tables for them. But once Max and even Emma told the greeter (Sorry I couldn't remember what they were called so) who he was. All this tables appeared in thin air, they finally finished their meal when a musician with a guitar showed up next to them. "Hello there, do you want to hear some music?" He said with a smile. Violet was about to say no but then Emma got an idea "how much to rent your guitar?" She said with a smile. Violet looked at her and Max then got this mischievous smile. "Yes sir, how much for the guitar?" He said while never losing eye contact with Violet.
It took some time but at the end Violet ended up with the guitar in his hands with everyone in the restaurant cheering for him to sing to his girlfriend. Which Emma couldn't stop blushing and Violet had a little blush that only Max could see. "Okay then, what song will I be playing?" He asked but Max looked around and saw a lot of couples from many generation. "How about-", "Can you sing Hero!" Emma said with hearts in her eyes. Violet wanted to say no but he saw how some of the couples started to hold hands.
"Fine" he said, he started to play the guitar "Let me be your hero" his voice send some chills down their spines. "Would you dance, If I asked you to dance? Would you run. And never look back? Would you cry, If you saw me crying? And would you save my soul, tonight?" Max then looked at the musician and saw maracas on his belt. He asked if he could also borrow them. Max then started to shake them. Violet then got closer to Emma and looked into her eyes "Would you tremble, If I touched your lips? Would you laugh? Oh please tell me this. Now would you die, For the one you loved? Hold me in your arms, tonight".
Violet then took the seat next to Emma but he never lost contact with her. "I can be your hero, baby. I can kiss away the pain. I will stand by you forever. You can take my breath away." He got near her neck and he inhaled and breathe which made Emma have goosebumps of pleasure "Would you swear, That you'll always be mine?. Or would you lie?, Would you run and hide? Am I in too deep? Have I lost my mind? I don't care..." he backed away to look at Emma's eyes again. "You're here tonight. I can be your hero, baby. I can kiss away the pain. I will stand by you forever. You can take my breath away."he then looked away and started to play a little more.
Some of the couples couldn't stop staring at each other and some of the guys could stop glaring at Violet who was getting the attention of their girlfriends or wifes. "Oh, I just want to hold you. I just want to hold you, oh, yeah. Am I in too deep? Have I lost my mind? Well, I don't care...You're here tonight." Violet turned back to Emma with his signature smile. "I can be your hero, baby. I can kiss away the pain, oh, yeah. I will stand by you forever. You can take my breath away. I can be your hero. I can kiss away the pain. And I will stand by you forever. You can take my breath away. You can take my breath away." Violet got closer to her face which she started to close her eyes and they leaned in. Violet slowly closed his eyes and whispered "I can be your hero."
Just before he could kiss her, his scroll started to ring. It killed the mood, he fetched his scroll and saw his mother calling. "Sorry I have to take this" he said while hiding the caller ID from Emma. He walked out of the restaurant and picked up, after a couple of minutes of shouting of him being in a bar. She finally stopped and asked if he was okay. More time passed when he hanged up and walked back inside to see Emma talking to Max.
Once Violet made it to the table did both of them stood up. "Sorry about that" Violet said, "No it's fine and thank you for the song" Max wanted to say something but he choice not to. Till his phone ringed too, he checked the email and smiled. "As much as I would love seeing you to make out" He said with his mocking expression. Violet got so red he matched his fake wig and Emma couldn't stop smiling.
"I just got a message from Lisa and she said she'll provide the wardrobe but we need to be there now for practice" He said while putting away his scroll. Violet understood and asked if Emma could give him her number. Which she did and they parted ways.
